I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1804) for POWER9 processors (ppc64le - powerpc 64-bit little endian). This release is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 ALT.

Note this release is 99% equivalent to the existing CentOS 7 Linux 7 (1804) for POWER8 processors (ppc64le - powerpc 64-bit little endian). The key difference being that kernel-4.14.0 is used for POWER9 enablement and kernel-3.10.0 is used for POWER8 enablement.

You will find the CentOS 7 (1804) Power9 installation images here:
